From the label“How do you brew a full-flavored but light-bodied dark beer? Some call it sorcery. We call it craftsmanship and maybe a little sorcery. Dark in color, but light in body, this black lager has a rich and roasty malt flavor that finishes clean. How do we do it? A magician never reveals their secrets”

About this beer
It's the only label we have from Ghost River Brewing Co. It is one of 28 dark lager / dunkel labels approved in August 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A pale hand holding a tarot card dominates the center of the label against a deep purple starfield; the card itself depicts a gnarled tree silhouetted against a cream moon, rendered in black and gold. The composition is vertical and centered, with the beer name arching above in tall sans-serif caps and the brewery name at the top in smaller type. Gold and cream inks accent the dark purple ground, creating a mystical nocturnal mood throughout.
